Chris Cutrone discusses Leszek Kolakowski's essay "The Concept of the Left." From the essay: "The Left -- and this is its unchangeable and indispensable quality, though by no means its only one -- is a movement of negation toward the existing world. For this very reason it is, as we have seen, a constructive force. It is, simply, a quest for change."

This week's Cutrone Zone takes up the claim that Marxism is a religion and Marx is the Pope. Can we demonstrate that Marx's thought and Marxism are something more than noble lies told to prop up what is, ultimately, an absurd existence?

Chris Cutrone is back to answer the pleeb's questions in Why Lenin and Adorno? Chris Cutrone is the founder of Platypus Affiliated Society and he thinks that for there to ever be a Left again there are certain lessons we must learn from Lenin and Adorno. We're going to try to figure out what that is in this stream.

"Two Marxists walk into a bar... one thinks the left is dead and needs to be brought back, the other thinks it is inseparable from the Democrats and must therefore be killed. Happy birthday, Karl Marx! A livestream response from Cutrone to Cryptofash in lieu of a debate... Pleeb will play interviewer and occasional devil's advocate so that we can hopefully learn something. Read pleeb's substack post that provides some context for this here:...

Known as the "pope of Marxism", Karl Kautsky was a leading figure of the 2nd International and the mass socialist parties of the 19th century. He became an incredibly controversial figure in Marxism after 1914 largely as a result of his opposition to the 1917 revolution. In recent years, he has resurfaced on the Left as an important intellectual, though his legacy remains in dispute. What can we learn from Karl Kautsky's Marxism today?

The recent protests against police brutality have raised questions about the revolutionary character of the United States. Platypus argues that any revolution in America for human emancipation would have to build on the legacy of 1776 and not 1619. We see the erasure of 1776 as a fundamental acquiescence to defeat. This is why today we are making the case for 1776 and the promise of liberty yet to be fulfilled. The red thread running through the lecture series is the persistence & legacy of...
